...al simulations investigating the influence of flow speed on adhesion revealed that the faster the flow of the liquid, the faster the cells find their adhesion partners as the cell can scan a larger area. The researchers then varied the density of the patches and established that beyond a threshold value of...

...drug discovery and development could significantly speed up the development process and save millions of health care dollars. Molecular imaging techniques are already being used in receptor occupancy studies and with transgenic animal models to validate drug development. In clinical trials, molecular imagi...

...nd of $13 million in grants, which were awarded to speed the development of innovative sequencing technologies that reduce the cost of DNA sequencing and expand the use of genomics in medical research and health care. A team led by Vezenov will apply force spectroscopy a technique used to measure intermo...

...ts are reporting discovery of an additive that can speed up the formation of methane hydrates. Those strange substances have sparked excitement about their potential as a new energy resource and a deep freeze to store greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. Methane hydrates are literally ice that burns fr...

...ity to heal itself," says Mishra. "All we did was speed the process by taking blood from a different area, concentrating it, and putting it back into an area where there was relatively poor blood supply to help repair the damage."...

...technology. In the near term, the biochip could speed scientific research, which could accelerate drug development for muscle and nerve disorders like epilepsy and help create more productive crop varieties. "Instead of doing one experiment per day, as is often the case, this technology is automated ...

...s into action. "With this mechanism, the body can speed up mitochondrial formation and at the same time suppress the creation of reactive oxygen species, which are known to be terribly damaging to the cell," explains Spiegelman, who is also a professor of cell biology at Harvard Medical School. In this re...

...s in little more than a blink of an eye. This high speed technology has already produced advances in the understanding of disease, including lung disease, and the already blistering pace is picking up. To take stock of this quickly changing field, scientists and doctors will gather at The American Physio...

Only tiny amounts of reactants would be needed, and experiments could be done more rapidly and efficiently. "Instead of a thousand people pouring test tube A into t...

...ds can," Dr Vallotton says. "This improvement will speed the progress of brain research research which is becoming increasingly urgent in a world where tens of millions of people suffer neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's."
